Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home Saturday.

The cause of death is not clear, but Winehouse, who described herself as bisexual, battled drug addiction for years. In June she had a disastrous performance in Belgrade, where she seemed unaware of her surroundings.

Police found her body around 4 p.m. London time. Read more about her death here.

Winehouse's first album, Frank, was a hit in the U.K., and she crossed over internationally with 2006's Back to Black, a retro sensation that garnered numerous Grammy Awards and spawned the hit "Rehab."
